ee.Geometry.MultiPoint.contains

  • The contains method returns true if and only if one geometry contains the other.

  • The contains method is used with a MultiPoint object and can take optional maxError and proj arguments.

  • The contains method returns a Boolean value.

 Returns true if and only if one geometry contains the other.

UsageReturns
MultiPoint.contains(right, maxError, proj)Boolean
ArgumentTypeDetails
this: leftGeometryThe geometry used as the left operand of the operation.
rightGeometryThe geometry used as the right operand of the operation.
maxErrorErrorMargin, default: nullThe maximum amount of error tolerated when performing any necessary reprojection.
projProjection, default: nullThe projection in which to perform the operation. If not specified, the operation will be performed in a spherical coordinate system, and linear distances will be in meters on the sphere.

Examples

Code Editor (JavaScript)

// Define a MultiPoint object.
var multiPoint = ee.Geometry.MultiPoint([[-122.082, 37.420], [-122.081, 37.426]]);

// Define other inputs.
var inputGeom = ee.Geometry.BBox(-122.085, 37.415, -122.075, 37.425);

// Apply the contains method to the MultiPoint object.
var multiPointContains = multiPoint.contains({'right': inputGeom, 'maxError': 1});

// Print the result to the console.
print('multiPoint.contains(...) =', multiPointContains);

// Display relevant geometries on the map.
Map.setCenter(-122.085, 37.422, 15);
Map.addLayer(multiPoint,
             {'color': 'black'},
             'Geometry [black]: multiPoint');
Map.addLayer(inputGeom,
             {'color': 'blue'},
             'Parameter [blue]: inputGeom');
